Etymology.
This species name is a combination of “
allocot
” and “
manubrium
”, referring to the long pedicel; adjective.
Diagnosis.
This new species resembles
O. taoyuan
(
Fu, Chen & Zhang, 2016
)
in having a similar femoral apophysis, but can be recognized by: 1) slender embolus (vs short and thick, cf.
Fig. 20C
and figs 9B, 10B in Fu
et al.
[2016]), 2) shorter retrolateral tibial apophysis without distinct curvature (vs long and curved tip, cf.
Figs 20B, D
and figs 9E–F, 10C in Fu
et al.
[2016]), 3) curved tip of dorsal tibial apophysis (vs not curved, cf.
Fig. 20B
and figs 9F, 10C in Fu
et al.
[2016]), 4) digit-shaped glandular appendages (vs absent, cf.
Fig. 20F
and figs 9H, 10E in Fu
et al.
[2016]), and (5) closely situated spermathecae (vs separate, cf.
Fig. 20F
and figs 9H, 10E in Fu
et al.
[2016]).
